Moving

I just found out that I may have to move in with my parents this year. They have been supporting me in FL but now have exhausted their resources. I have mixed emotions about this (I am 52). First I am grateful that they have been helping me because I can't make it on my own on disability from SS alone. But my friends and life are here and I am getting depressed over it. I would have to move to Maryland and eventually to Ohio. The weather down here is much better for me (I have pulmonary problems), so I don't know how I would be in cold weather.............it's getting me down..........

they don't like fl. They eventually want to move to Ohio where there is family...they have their Maryland home on the market now. It would be much better if they moved here, then I could still have my life.

Why not explore what the state might be able to help you with. I know some states help pay rent and medical and dental. My girlfriend only makes 800.00 a month on SSDI but gets help with her rent and is on medicaid that pays her medical. That way you could probably stay in FL. A move is so hard. I know you love your parents, but it's got to be hard to think about leaving your home and moving in with them. Best of luck to you.

I agree with becky---there are bound to be some programs that can help you out somehow. Check with a local church listing for assistance and ask at the local library--they carry a list of organizations and telephone numbers for you to contact with questions.

Hello. I am new here but would like to ask for prayer. I have been going through a rough period in my personal life (kids, finances, loneliness,etc). I feel like recently I have begun to question my faith. Basically existence as a whole. I have been believing for some things for a long time and feel like I am getting no where. I feel like I am being led in one direction only for it to be a dead...

My sister gets disability for her special needs son. And she told my mom that if you have more than a designated amount in Your account at any time that Social Security will reduce your payments. Is this true? And will I have to keep my receipts for everything?
